Trailer For Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW: FINAL CUT
Director Francis Ford Coppola has cut together an ultimate version of his classic 1979 Vietnam War drama Apocalypse Now. This version of the film is called Apocalypse Now: Final Cut and we have the first trailer to share with you for it today.
This is Coppola’s favorite and preferred version of the film and it is getting a 4K release that will also screen in theaters. This version of the film clocks in at 183 minutes and I can’t wait to see it. I love this film and I’m curious to see how this final cut plays out. When talking about the film, Coppola says:
"It's my favorite version because I feel the first one we released was clipped too short and REDUX is a little too long. This one is 'just right.'"
Coppola's "visually dazzling masterpiece is a surreal, hallucinatory, epic tragedy about the horror of the Vietnam War. A U.S. Army Intelligence officer is sent on a bizarre river journey deep into the jungle to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a renegade Green Beret who uses primitive tribesmen to wage his own war."
The film stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper, Laurence Fishburne, and Harrison Ford.
Lionsgate will release the Final Cut in select theaters for two nights only: August 15th and August 18th. It will then be released on VOD and 4K Blu-ray.
